SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS CO FILES (8-K) Disclosing Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events

From October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, Southern California Gas Company
("SoCalGas"), a subsidiary of Sempra Energy ("Sempra"), experienced a natural
gas leak from one of the injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso
Canyon natural gas storage facility in Los Angeles County (the "Leak"). On
October 11, 2022, SoCalGas executed a settlement agreement with the Safety and
Enforcement Division ("SED") and California Public Advocates ("CalPA") of the
California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") to resolve all phases of the
Order Instituting Investigation ("OII") opened by the CPUC in June 2019
regarding the Leak (the "Leak OII"). In addition, this report provides an update
on the status of litigation filed in connection with the Leak, all of which has
now been resolved except as described below.

Civil Litigation

In September 2021, SoCalGas and Sempra entered into an agreement with counsel to
resolve approximately 390 lawsuits including approximately 36,000 plaintiffs
(the "Individual Plaintiffs") pending against SoCalGas and Sempra related to the
Leak (the "Individual Plaintiff Litigation") for a payment of up to $1.8
billion. The agreement requires each plaintiff who agrees to participate in the
settlement to release all such plaintiff's claims against SoCalGas, Sempra and
their respective affiliates related to the Leak and the Individual Plaintiff
Litigation. As of August 15, 2022, over 98% of the Individual Plaintiffs had
agreed to participate and submitted releases, and SoCalGas paid $1.77 billion
under the agreement on August 30, 2022. As of October 10, 2022, SoCalGas and
Sempra had either not received or not accepted as valid releases from
approximately 390 Individual Plaintiffs, approximately 80% of whom had not been
located or had failed to respond, according to plaintiffs' counsel. The
Individual Plaintiffs who do not participate in the settlement (the "Remaining
Individual Plaintiffs") will be able to continue to pursue their claims.

In October 2018 and October 2020, complaints on behalf of five property
developers (the "Developer Plaintiffs") were filed against SoCalGas and Sempra
in connection with the Leak. In January 2022 and March 2022, SoCalGas and Sempra
settled the claims of four of the Developer Plaintiffs, and their claims were
dismissed. In August 2022, SoCalGas and Sempra settled the claims of the fifth
Developer Plaintiff and its claims were dismissed.

Separate from the Individual Plaintiff Litigation and Developer Plaintiffs
litigation, four shareholder derivative actions were filed alleging breach of
fiduciary duties against certain officers and certain directors of SoCalGas and
Sempra. Three of the four actions were joined in an Amended Consolidated
Shareholder Derivative Complaint, which was dismissed with prejudice in January
2021. The plaintiffs have appealed this dismissal. In the remaining fourth
action, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in June 2022.

Regulatory Proceedings

On October 11, 2022, SoCalGas executed a settlement agreement with SED and CalPA
to resolve all aspects of the Leak OII. The Leak OII was opened to investigate
and consider, among other things, whether SoCalGas should be sanctioned for the
Leak and what damages, fines or other penalties, if any, should be imposed for
any violations, unreasonable or imprudent practices or failure to cooperate
sufficiently with SED, as well as to determine the amount of various costs
incurred by SoCalGas and other parties in connection with the Leak and the
ratemaking treatment or other disposition of such costs, which could result in
little or no recovery of such costs by SoCalGas.

The settlement agreement provides for financial penalties, certain costs that
SoCalGas will reimburse, a violation of California Public Utilities Code section
451, and costs previously incurred by SoCalGas for which it will not seek
recovery from ratepayers, among other provisions. The settlement agreement is
subject to approval by the CPUC.

Accounting and Other Impacts

As a result of entering into the settlement agreements with the fifth Developer
Plaintiff and with SED and CalPA to resolve all aspects of the Leak OII,
SoCalGas and Sempra expect to record a charge of approximately $122 million,
$101 million after tax, in the third quarter of 2022 on the SoCalGas and Sempra
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

An adverse outcome with respect to (i) any lawsuits by the Remaining Individual
Plaintiffs; (ii) the unresolved shareholder derivative actions, (iii) the Leak
OII if approval of the negotiated settlement is not subsequently obtained, or
(iv) the pending OII opened by the CPUC pursuant to Senate Bill 380 (the "SB 380
OII"), could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas' and Sempra's results of
operations, financial condition, cash flows, and/or prospects.

This report is intended to provide material updates about certain proceedings
related to the Leak that have occurred since SoCalGas' and Sempra's most recent
public disclosures about such matters. This report does not purport to (i)
update the SB

infrastructure, information and systems used to operate our businesses, and
confidentiality of our proprietary information and personal information of our
customers and employees, including ransomware attacks on our systems and the
systems of third-parties with which we conduct business, all of which have
become more pronounced due to recent geopolitical events and other
uncertainties, such as the war in Ukraine; failure of foreign governments,
state-owned entities and our counterparties to honor their contracts and
commitments; actions by credit rating agencies to downgrade our credit ratings
or to place those ratings on negative outlook and our ability to borrow on
favorable terms and meet our debt service obligations; the impact of energy and
climate policies, laws, rules and disclosures, as well as related goals and
actions of companies in our industry, including actions to reduce or eliminate

including disruptions caused by failures in the transmission grid or limitations
on the withdrawal of natural gas from storage facilities; the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on capital projects, regulatory approvals and the execution of
our operations; the impact at SDG&E on competitive customer rates and
reliability due to growth in distributed and local power generation, including
from departing retail load resulting from customers transferring to Community
Choice Aggregation and Direct Access, and the risk of nonrecovery for stranded
assets and contractual obligations; Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC's
(Oncor) ability to eliminate or reduce its quarterly dividends due to regulatory
and governance requirements and commitments, including by actions of Oncor's
independent directors or a minority member director; changes in tax and trade
policies, laws and regulations, including tariffs, revisions to international
trade agreements and sanctions, such as those that have been

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

imposed and that may be imposed in the future in connection with the war in
Ukraine, which may increase our costs, reduce our competitiveness, impact our
ability to do business with certain counterparties, or impair our ability to
resolve trade disputes; and other uncertainties, some of which are difficult to
predict and beyond our control.

These risks and uncertainties are further discussed in the reports that Sempra
has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These reports
